Research students


Conducting research is a valuable and rewarding opportunity: it introduces you to cutting edge questions and techniques in modern mathematics. It also builds advanced problem solving and technical reading/communication skills. Such analytical reasoning is valuable to those pursuing graduate school or careers in many different business, industry, and government sectors
Students who are interested in joining the research group should contact me for more information.
